Hi guys. I'm on Windows 10 Pro. Whenever I do something like delete a folder or add a folder, there is a long delay -- at least several seconds. For example, I just tried to delete a folder off the desktop and it's still showing on the desktop two minutes later even though when I double click it, it says that it's unavailable. Any advice? Thank you!

reboot the pc? shut it down all the way then boot it up
Thanks for the reply. I've done that, but it's been happening for several days and I shut down my PC every day.

To clarify, when I reboot, the folder I deleted is gone from my desktop. But if I try to delete another folder from the desktop, it stays there, despite saying it's unavailable.
